At dinner the other night and stopped with a

, when I thought the waiter at the next table said "Soft Porn", not Soft Corn...tortillas. And never fail to spot license plates that start with CBJ and well, you know what I think immediately.

Care to share your hobby phrases in the real world?

Yeah, I see license plates with "BNG" and laugh a little. I work with mortgages, and we send borrowers a Good Faith Estimate or as we call it, the GFE. So at work, I hear that all the time, "sending my borrower a GFE" etc. I laugh inside when I hear that.

Ha! Funny stuff and good question. Guys at work were looking at something that had the initials SS on it and wondering what it meant. I suggested stripper slide and got some strange looks. Apparently, I was the only hobbiest in the room.

I giggle when I hear "dangling death," "chewing," and "taint" mentioned.

Just last night referred to "cowgirl" and "mish" to sis in law ...got a blank look. Should I be scared that the wife filled the blanks right in?

I saw this plate the other day that said Boobs. Loved it.

Health benefits at work during the enrollment period always seem to mention my preferred provider.

Not to disparage anyone's alternative lifestyle, but I did feel a little uncomfortable when they made me switch from a Preferred Provider Organization to an HMO.

Go to a restaurant that serves Chicken Fried Steak. On the receipt, or at least when they write it down they will use the abbreviation "CFS".

I've heard petite girls referred to as "spinners" by non-hobbyists. That always raises my suspicions.

Sending your borrowers a hobby world GFE might just up your closing ratios. Well, maybe if offered to the right signing party. Just roll the fee into one of those many line on the Good Faith.

OMG, this is funny now.

The other day my son was talking to a friend on the phone. And I over heard him saying, "I can't decide which escort I want". Yea that one is Hot!

Come to find out they were discussing radar detectors.

I deal with GFE daily at my job - Govt Furnished Equipment...

A guy with whom I went to high school had a part-time job at Jack-In-The-Box. He told the story of a transaction he'd had with one especially intimidating customer:

"Can I help you, sir?"

"Yeah, give me a BJ."

"One Bonus Jack. Anything else?"

"You don't understand, boy. I told you to give me a BJ."

Can't remember how it all ended.

Was watching an NHL hockey game on TV, the scoreboard caught my eye. It said "CBJ".
That was for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
